Chapter 165 Great Spear Technique
Chapter 165 Great Spear Technique
The two elder brothers, Confucius and Mencius, were also surprised to see him arrive so early in the morning.
This young instructor, Yang, always liked to go to Wujing Tower at night; he was never seen during the day.
Yang Silang then solemnly declared that today he intended to browse through the various martial arts schools and, using the privileges he enjoyed as a martial arts graduate, select a martial arts technique.
Confucius and Mencius nodded in agreement.
This requires careful selection; anyone would have to come several times. Coming early in the morning is the perfect time.
The two gave him a token, which allowed him to enter all the master-level martial arts rooms in the tower. He could choose at his leisure, and they also gave him several suggested techniques.
Yang Silang thanked the two for their kindness and entered the tower.
He entered the fourteenth room of Jiaxu, and looked up at the round stone inlaid on the roof. It seemed to have changed slightly from a few days ago, but not obviously.
Yang Silang did not call out to his grandmother.
Grandma Tianjing never responded during the day, as the daytime was when the Tower-Suppressing Grandmaster's perception was at its strongest.
After entering the room, he looked through the catalog of exercises.
This is a book called "Killing Spear" created by a grandmaster general of the Jin Dynasty. This technique was created through countless battles on the battlefield. It emphasizes the killing intent and the spear technique is like using troops. It focuses on overwhelming people with force and attaches great importance to the use of the demonic power of the mount. There are also methods of combining forces.
Moreover, the more people are killed, the heavier and more powerful the gunshot becomes, like a snowball rolling downhill.
This grandmaster once led three thousand retainers of the Ash Family and defeated tens of thousands of enemies in one battle. After displaying an invincible momentum, he single-handedly defeated seven grandmasters of the same level, establishing great achievements.
Yang Silang stared in disbelief, imagining this grandmaster leading his troops through enemy lines, moving through thousands of soldiers as if they were nothing, defeating seven grandmasters in succession, and striking fear into the hearts of tens of thousands of enemies. What a magnificent sight that was!
He looked down again.
Flaw: This spear is all about momentum and bloodlust. If the momentum is weak, its power will be reduced by three points. If one has no will to fight, the spear's momentum will dissipate and its power will be completely lost, making it inferior to ordinary spear techniques.
It is suitable for those with exceptional courage, who can unleash their power with invincible skill; those with a calm and cautious personality should learn with caution.
Yes, Yang Silang understands. This is a gun for born killers. To use a gun, you have to be wild, fierce, and think you're the best in the world. If you're a mild-mannered person, you shouldn't learn it.
Finally, Yang Silang looked into the later development of this grandmaster. Such a talented person should surely have become a martial saint, right?
The result is not.
In a national war, the army was defeated, and he led three thousand personal guards to cover the rear of the army, shouting and killing the enemy.
With his own strength, he led three thousand elite troops, and knowing that he could not survive, he broke through the realm of spear technique and reached the invincible state in his heart, and his spear power was sublimated.
The army is defeated, and I am about to die. What does that have to do with my spear?
All I need to do is kill, kill, kill; fight, fight, fight; I will live up to the name of the killing gun.
After his three thousand elite troops were killed in battle, he single-handedly held off the enemy army, killing ten enemy grandmasters in total. In the end, the enemy's martial saint appeared and fought for dozens of moves before his spear broke and he died. Even in death, the momentum of his spear did not diminish by an inch.
On the contrary, they became more courageous and stronger with each battle.
The enemy's Martial Saint admired him, believing that if he survived this battle, he would surely become a Martial Saint within a few years, and a top-tier one at that.
Those skilled in wielding weapons die on the battlefield, which can be considered a fulfillment of their wishes.
The Killing Spear had already greatly tempted Yang Silang.
This valiant general's personal charm further stirred his heart.
However, after Yang Silang calmed down, he did not make a choice for the time being and decided to continue looking at the next one.
The fifth house of the Ji Chou year.
This is a master-level martial art called "Eight-Armed Spear," a style of spear fighting known throughout the martial arts world, characterized by its ingenious and complex techniques.
The master who created this spear technique wielded an eight-foot spear with agile and elusive movements. When engaging the enemy, he could thrust eight times in one move, as if he were truly wielding eight large spears in succession.
Once, when facing enemies, Yigan single-handedly withstood the attacks of four masters of the same level. Within the circle of his spear, water could not penetrate, and he blocked all the attacks of the four powerful enemies and calmly counterattacked.
After a night of fierce fighting, he single-handedly killed four powerful enemies despite being severely injured, earning him fame throughout the martial arts world.
This is a spear used in foot combat in the martial arts world.
Shorter than a spear, it doesn't require a mount, making it strong in one-on-one combat and capable of taking on multiple opponents; it has virtually no weaknesses.
To learn this spear technique, one must have a calm mind to find a glimmer of hope in dire situations. One must not get carried away or become greedy; the spear's advance and retreat must follow the natural flow of the situation.
Yang Silang felt somewhat regretful.
This rifle is very powerful, but it cannot fully utilize the advantages of the Great Azure Demon's power. The spear techniques are numerous and complex, and it would take a long time just to learn them.
It doesn't seem to suit me very well. What I want to learn is something that can be mastered quickly, is powerful, and allows me to utilize the power of a mount.
He then investigated the fate of this martial arts master.
This grandmaster did not become a martial saint. In his prime, he was besieged by powerful enemies again. This time, the enemy consisted of five grandmasters. He only managed to kill one enemy before the other four powerful enemies took the opportunity to kill him.
Four against one can't beat you, but five can.
Yang Silang sighed, and the spear of the martial world was broken.
He then entered the nineteenth room of the Dingyou year.
This is an unorthodox martial art created by a master assassin, called "Shadowless Spear".
His gun was only six feet long, which was quite different from the usual shooting techniques. He believed that every inch shorter was more dangerous, and that when he approached the enemy, he should do so as close to them as possible.
The spear technique is unpredictable, mainly consisting of thrusting attacks. Combined with his "Treading Snow Without Leaving a Trace" light footwork, it emphasizes speed and danger, aiming to strike unexpectedly and kill with a single blow.
This grandmaster once assassinated a powerful minister who was protected by three grandmasters.
He pretended to be a passerby, then stabbed the target and fled. While fleeing, he turned and killed one of the grandmasters who was chasing him, thus intimidating the other two, before calmly leaving.
Yang Silang frowned.
This is a stabbing gun.
Those who practice must be bold yet meticulous, possess the formidable mentality to walk on the edge of a knife, often use the weak to defeat the strong, turn pressure into motivation, and create possibilities from the impossible.
Yang Silang shook his head.
This assassination weapon is not suitable for him.
Even with good marksmanship, one doesn't need to lie in wait and launch a surprise attack when facing an enemy. If you can win a head-on fight, then fight; if you can't, then run away.
Besides, riding the Great Green horse, the rider and horse together would be a huge blob, how could they possibly carry out ambush and assassination?
When he finally saw the grandmaster's fate, it was indeed not a pleasant one.
On one occasion, he was tasked with assassinating a military general who was guarded by three grandmasters.
He chose to assassinate the general as he walked across the bridge. When the general reached the middle of the bridge, the master assassin suddenly sprang up, emerged from underwater, broke through the bridge planks, and was about to impale the general!
The assassin master chose the perfect moment, and the three master guards were all a beat too slow to react.
However, as he broke through the bridge plank, a huge, whistling foot came rushing towards him!
This general usually kept a low profile, and no one expected that he had become a Martial Saint!
With a single kick, the Martial Saint General shoved the Assassin Master's head back into his skull, where it floated in the river as a corpse.
This is the weakness of being short and dangerous; if you misjudge your opponent's strength, you won't even have a chance to dodge or evade, and you'll be killed instantly.
Yang Silang paced around the room a few times.
The Killing Spear is a battlefield spear, suitable for large-scale battles and chaotic combat. Its spear techniques are simple and clear, and it relies on overwhelming force. The Eight-Armed Spear is a martial arts spear, suitable for dealing with small-scale opponents. Its spear techniques are complex and take the most time to learn.
The Shadowless Spear is an assassination weapon. It is invincible among its peers when it is used, but against higher-level enemies, it is a luxury to even manage a few more stabs. Its spear technique is bizarre and completely violates normal spear principles.
If you want to learn it, you have to forget all the advanced gun techniques you learned before, otherwise it will feel awkward to practice.
Overall.
In "The Killing Gun," there is a method that combines riding and movement, emphasizing momentum over technique and intent over method, which is his favorite.
The only problem.
This marksmanship requires the master to be wild, fierce, and brave enough, with an indomitable spirit. There is a mountain in front of him, and as long as friend and foe are distinguished, he must throw himself into it and use his gun to pierce through it!
"My personality doesn't seem to match this marksmanship very well," Yang Silang said, stroking his chin.
His eyes darted around.
Even if the Gun God is a god, why not just treat him as a supplicant?
Visualize his image, let a thought arise and focus on it, then use the method of transforming the barbarians into your own, and use the calm mind within to match the fierce and invincible momentum without. Isn't this spear technique just right?
Once Yang Silang had a thought, he couldn't control it.
He didn't know if the "transforming barbarians into oneself" method would work when applied to martial arts techniques.
Previously, She Nu and Shu Miaosheng at least had the souls of two wronged souls before them; however, the master of the Killing Spear had been dead for hundreds of years, and both his body and soul had decayed.
This fierce general was named Qi Shasheng. Not even his appearance or figure has been passed down. Can I really imagine and create this heroic figure?
Yang Silang hesitated.
All three are highly skilled with guns.
Qi Shasheng's "The Killing Gun" suited his taste the best, but he just wasn't that kind of radical and passionate personality.
The Eight-Armed Spear technique is too complex; it's a secondary skill, not a primary one. Spending too much time on this spear technique would overshadow the primary skill.
The Shadowless Spear technique is unpredictable, but he is not skilled in assassination. If he were to face a strong enemy, he would have to call upon his servant Daqing and use his supernatural powers to attack together. Moreover, this spear technique is too fragile and too risky against strong enemies.
It's like a chicken rib – tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away.
Yang Silang spun around in place a few times before finally making up his mind.
"That's it!"
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
night.
Yang Silang called She Nu into the room.
"Master..." She Nu, dressed as a cook, knelt on the ground and spoke cautiously.
Since being provoked by the "Transforming the Barbarians into My Own Method" last night, which stirred up his evil thoughts, he stuck out his tongue and wanted to strangle the master.
She was filled with anxiety all day long. Even when her master ate her buns and praised them for being juicy and tender, she was not completely at ease. She regarded Yang Silang as a mouse was in the presence of a cat.
"Look at this spear, can you refine it to the desired length?" Yang Silang sat cross-legged on the couch, with an eight-foot-long, amber-yellow spear on his lap.
The spearhead was tinged with gold, making it extremely dazzling.
It was the golden trout spear that he had been allocated.
"Please specify how long or short you want, sir..." She Nu examined the spear carefully and discovered that it was a naturally formed demonic material. "Such a demonic material would be best if it were refined by its original owner."
"Even a servant can practice; spending more time will yield the same results in the end."
"I will need about seven days."
Yang Silang gestured with his hands.
"From eyebrow-length to fourteen feet long, uh... how about eighteen feet...?"
"Zhangba speaks smoothly."
"It's settled then!"
She Nu had no idea why "zhangba" sounded so catchy, so she could only obey and take the spear and leave.
She estimated it in her mind.
The soul-guiding banner was not yet finished, but they were about to refine the vajra.
Having just finished forging the vajra, he was about to forge a ten-foot-long spear.
The work of refining weapons is numerous and arduous, and she also has to work part-time as a cook and a wet nurse. She doesn't even have a place to stay.
Overwhelmed with grief, I felt an urge to cry.
Even though Daqing was the mount, Shenu felt like she was the real ox or horse, constantly toiling away.
